%-from boston. the irs says boston taxpayers will be granted extensions on their tax returns. every little bit helps. that is my "2 cents more." a great night and we will see rebecca tomorrow evening. ♪ lou: lou: good evening and thank you for being with us. details tonight emerging about yesterday's horrific terrorist attack and the boston marathon. the two explosions on boils some street wounded 176 by standards. three people killed. martin richard lost his life in the explosion that also left his brother and sister critically wounded. waiting by the finish line to hug his father and to congratulate him for finishing a marathon. 29-year-old crystal campbell also killed in the attack after adding to the finish line to

take a picture of a friend was completing the race. the third victim has now been identified as a graduate student from boston university, but her name has not been released pending notification of next of kin. seventeen other victims tonight remain in critical condition. some have lost limbs or arms, many have suffered severe injuries to their legs. doctors operated to remove shrapnel, mostly ball bearings, pellets, and nails from the victims. one doctor today predicted that the worst of this ordeal is over for most of his patients. here is massachusetts general hospital trauma surgeon dr. george bell moss. >> more confident. no further life will be lost. and taking some of the patient's back to the operating room to further address their loans, but

they're all hemodynamics stable. some of them woke up completely. i talk to them. clear mental status. so overall. lou: 32 victims in all have undergone major surgery at four boston hospitals. meanwhile, president obama has left no question that the boston marathon bombing was an act of terrorism. the fbi is it evidence response team processing a scene along with the alcohol, tobacco, firearms, and state and local agencies looking for evidence and coming through the debris for any clues that might lead to the capture of those responsible for the carnage. >> this morning the fbi along with boston pd, massachusetts state police, and atf, officially began its forensic evans recovery effort at the site.

their goal was to recover physical items related to the blast. those items have been recovered and are being sent to the fbi's laboratory in quantico, virginia lou: the fbi has confirmed there are no plans a responsibility and that the range of suspects and motives remains wide open. authorities are asking anyone with photographs or video near the scene of the explosions to take that evidence to the fbi for examination. the critically important part in the investigation focuses on the components used to make the two bombs and the device or devices used to detonate them. similar devices and similarly constructed bombs have been the hallmark of the pakistan the caliban and al qaeda in yemen. and mr. peters caution everyone not to jump to conclusions. fox news chief intelligence correspondent with our report.

>> the senior fbi agent confirmed tonight that bomb components were recovered. the evidence is being shipped to the fbi lab in virginia where technicians will reconstruct the devices to identify where the components are from and possibly who bought them. this is referred to as the bombs unique signature. video footage shows what appears to be large metal fragments flying through the air as shrapnel tears through the crowd. two sources tell fox his investigators believed the bombs used pressure cookers with ball bearings. each piece now part of the puzzle. >> working closely with investigators. spinning them whenever evidence we can find it. >> part of the failed times square bombing in 2010 in the subject of an fbi intelligence bulletin. is also a tactic associated with al qaeda in yemen in its on-line propaganda for potential recruits. >> pressure cookers can be obtained here relatively easily and without usually raising much alarm.

i don't think that you can necessarily say that because it was a pressure cooker therefore someone from that region is a person that is responsible. >> the group that trained at times square plotter denied involvement, they have told investigators they reached no conclusions about a domestic or foreign connection. >> an ongoing investigation. it certainly will not be confined to the city limits of boston. we will get to the ends of years to identify the subject or subjects were responsible. >> reporter: fox news told the fbi is gaining cellphone tower records for a moment of that nation adding a positive taken to allow investigators to trace phone number and suspect. investigators expressed frustration that no chatter pointing to a group or individual were picked up during or immediately after the attack. with a high profile search and no possibility, the ranking

member of the senate intelligence committee was briefly today. >> we are kinda back to square one with regard to the who and why. >> the fbi reenforci point, telling reporters that the cases wide-open adding, the need to your from the public because someone's friend, relative to more coworker knows what happened. lou: thank you very much. fox news chief intelligence correspondent. my first guest is surprised that there have not been even more attacks like the one in boston since september 11th and gives credit to the work done. joining us now, ralph guliani, served as new york city's mayor during the 2001 world trade center terrorist attacks, a partner at the law firm. good to have you with us. >> best to be with you. lou: first, let's start with the fact that there ruled out the young man who apparently was the person of interest, not a suspect saying that he had nothing to do with it. what does that suggest to you about where they are?

>> it is a setback. in the murder investigation, terrorism investigation, the logger it takes to solve the less of a chance you have to solve it. it's just a progression, a formula that is there. so they spend focusing on one person. seems to me they're now back at ground zero try to figure out how to put this all together. so when i heard them ask earlier today for everybody to cooperate photographs, i was hoping that that was a ploy and they already had a photograph from their own surveillance. apparently it out. lou: in nearly every city, obviously more familiar with new york city and boston, closed-circuit television almost everywhere. these cameras. how much surveillance to you expect there is? i have been, frankly, remarkably impressed by how much video we have seen of the explosions themselves.

>> boston has by and large more than new york. less than london, the new york. london, when the bombing took place in 20005. they had -- i think they had the suspects about 67 hours later because tony blair said that the headquarters. they showed me, i think it's this one, that one, this one, that one. they have a tremendous amount of camera coverage in london. boston has less than london, but more the new york. this area is an area in which they havv probably the most camera coverage. so i was hoping that their own cameras would pick it up. you also have television coverage of the marathon. you also have a mature people who take pictures of the father, son, daughter. hopefully they have something. but just reaching out to the

public asking for it, hoping it results in something. lou: the police commissioner, the special agent in charge, the fbi, they are both saying that they had a vast amount of information brought to them by the public. let's hope that it is the right and permission. >> it takes awhile to go through all that. sometimes it is two or three days later when you went picture jumps out in one piece of informational come out, but it is also true in any investigation, the longer it takes the percentage of solving it goes down. lou: a hallmark of the pakistan the taliban. is that significant? >> we have to speculate little bit. that does not necessarily mean that this is being orchestrated in pakistan or by al qaeda. kidney is being done by people

imitating them. kind of like this situation where these are homegrown terrorists. by the same token, he is ag hottest. remember, he asked people to do this. he actually several times made pleas for people to become their own and move forward. people respond to that. and so i am guessing that this is going to turn out to be an islamic extremist motivation. it is going to be one of those guys the people rather than something orchestrated by al qaeda overseas. could also be something else. we just don't know yet. it could be some other ideology or some other crazy set of ideas lou: homeland security department secretary napolitano saying that she is convinced that this is not part of a larger plot that it is one instance. your reaction?

>> you can't know that now. you can't. i think it is not part of an international plot. that is my hunch. i investigated cases with punches. at the time they were right, have the time they were wrong. i had to abandon a lot of punches that turned out to be wrong. you're asking me for my hunch, this is not orchestrated by al qaeda overseas. but this could very well be being done by homegrown people who were looking to try to do the same thing. or we could be all wrong and this could be some kind of other plot having to do with something that we have not even figured out yet. lou: so i infer from what you're saying that you think this is at most a small group of people working to carry out these terrorist attacks. not an individual. >> i don't think this is a major, a planned attack by an overseas group. i think it would be far bigger than what we saw if it were a planned attack.

on the other hand it is not a small attack. significant attack. this fits right in the wheelhouse of these people who are home grown radicalized islamists. or it could be one of these other groups that has these crazy grievances, some of which we only find out about after we actually catch the person you did. lou: hopefully we will do that quickly. >> i hope so. the sooner the better. the logger it goes the harder it is to catch them and the more the frustration level builds up with the families and everyone else. lou: as always, good to have you here. thank you so much. we have breaking news right now out of capitol hill. fox news has learned that a letter addressed to senator roger wicker, republican of mississippi, has tested positive for the deadly poison ricin. now, this poisoned letter tested

clearly it can be. the fact of the matter is, let's just take al qaeda for a second. the new al qaeda leader does not believe in that big, symbolic attacks that al qaeda central leaders did almost 12 years ago. he has encouraged his affiliates, as did the last few years to do these attacks locally. and therefore that they are not going to be on the same scale. and most of them, quite frankly, are very different in the sense that they are not suicide bombers. that is, maybe what has taken place. these guys have to get out safely because they did not intend to kill themselves. they could be domestic terrorists, but we could never rule out at this stage that this is an overall strategic objective against the estates by a radical islamist groups. lou: and even if, as as i was discussing with the mayor here earlier, even if indeed this were not organized or directed by specifically al qaeda,

whether it be in yemen or whether it be in pakistan or afghanistan, it is still part of a broader war on terror, is it not? >> absolutely. the radical islamists that operate in the region want to establish a caliphate where they dominate the region, and their goals are even as ambitious as world communism with a ticket out of the region to the rest of the world to accomplish that. they believe they have to drive the united states out of the region because of our ideas that they fear more than our military, democracy and capitalism. that strategic objective and the operational objectives to achieve it have not changed. they don't tell an affiliate what to do or how to do it. they just tell them to do something against the elements of power. that is what may be taking place here. this is against the american people, to be short. no american symbol, so to speak in terms of our economic or military power are involved, but

certainly a punishing attacks against their people. lou: and one that obviously captures the attention of the world at a time when the united states is being both threatened and challenged by north korea. we remain at war in afghanistan. we are pressed year for time, but if you will, give us your sense of what this -- assess this in the context of the larger war that we continue to carry out in afghanistan and our policies in the pacific and specifically north korea and china. >> very quickly, i am absolutely convinced that the radical islamist movement, number one, they are on the rise and have gains. they are significant. they also believe that one of the reason they're able to achieve that is because the united states has strategically pulled back from the region. we don't state that, but, in

fact, it is true. i think that is contributing to emboldening this movement and having them reach out and take some risks. maybe they would not otherwise take. north koreans, that is another chapter in i ending chapter of the pattern of strident rhetoric , provocation, eventually diplomatic talks with the united states and finally concessions by the united states. three presidents have engaged in that. our current president is doing that now through his secretary of state, offering diplomatic talks. what we have gotten out of that is north. not only having a nuclear capability, but not developing a nuclear weapons capability which eventually the most dangerous threat to the united states going all the way back to world war ii. lou: thank you very much for being here. we appreciated. >> always good talking to you.

third victim killed in those boston marathon bombings is a graduate student at boston university. no name has been released pending notification of next of kin. there are a lot of unknowns, of course, about this bombing, this terrorist act. less than 24 hours after those two bombs exploded, three current and former congressman embarrassed themselves in a display of petty partisan politics. we want to introduce them to you here tonight. one of them is house minority whip. during his weekly pen and pad briefing, he argued that the boston marathon terrorist act is proof that the sequestered cuts should be ended. obviously unaware that the pentagon has furloughed exactly

zero civilian workers. absolutely zero. and defense officials may drop the furloughs entirely. homeland security has not furloughed anyone, and it has not cut overtime. so the exact impact is zero. the "washington post" gives away pinocchio's for lying. tonight we are giving dunce caps away, and we will continue to do this. elected officials to make egregiously silly statements. we think our elected officials should be so honored and noted. so we are going to award this to acquire tonight. and he earned it. i think you would agree. fellow democrat, a year from california, the head of the house democratic caucus today warned that the sequester cuts undermine the ability of our cities to respond to terrorist

attacks. listen to this. >> so, when those first responders did such a phenomenal job yesterday in boston, chances are the mayor in boston is now having to figure out how to cover for the extra cost involved in having so many people out there for security and emergency medical assistance responding because they get paid so he is now probably getting money from some other part of his budget, the community police tell whether it's a vaccine for kids provided to a city. they have to pay for it. lou: pure balderdash. these are the facts, congressman. boston has actually increased its police force of the last couple of years from just under 2100 to 2,116 over the course of that time. and there are more firefighters as well, up from 1400 to 1467

now. so this is quite remarkable. boston has not cut at&t's are paramedics either. still employing 350 ian ts and paramedics. 350, the same amount as for the past few years. the city of boston pays for those employees. the congress is not only engaging in petty partisan politics, he is entirely wrong. and for that we award him our dunce cap. and we also have some old friends with us tonight. former congressman barney frank who used the terrorist attacks in boston to slammed those advocating for smaller government. here he is. >> in this terrible situation let's be very grateful that we had a well-founded government. one of the communities.

though one texas. no tax cuts would have helped us deal with this war will help us recover. this is very expensive. lou: barney frank making, perhaps not much sense. apparently not recognizing either the absurdity of trying to draw parallels between lower taxes and terrorist attacks. the congressman deserves a dunce cap, but he is a former congressman. you know what, we're not going to give him one tonight. i'm sorry. we're just not going to do it. you deserve it, but we will need all of them for those who are still in office and insist on making fools of themselves, even in the midst of crises. you want to be sure we have enough. markets today rebounding from yesterday's tragedy. market sell-off with a triple digit rally. deutsche bank economist joins us next. the senate immigration plan goes public. one congressman says it makes no

in the war against terror. where are we in your does right now in what remains a global conflict? >> as long as the administration did not give us findings as to who did what or in which direction we should be looking, we have got to look at conflict. and the boston terrorist act could sit either both international and domestic geologists' or with extremists. both sides can perform the same operation. the conflict tells us that we are involved in battlefields elsewhere. we have been attacked 48 times at least inside the homeland i attempted gian the attacks that were mostly failures, but two of them were bloody.

we have been attacked in the mid-90s in many other incidents by extremists. so as far as the government is telling us, so far that they don't have the evidence that will tell us which of the two it could be. lou: there is no current indication to suggest that the events in boston are indicative of a broader plot in the united states. what is your reaction? >> my reaction is that this administration does not want to have a so-called muslim problem. they still have not square with the american people. my hunch is that they know this is an islamist attack already. it certainly has the hallmarks of it in terms of trade craft and terms of timing, in terms of target. and i would certainly agree, we have continued to motivate the enemy. the enemy is now active on five continents.

we have just surrendered our forces or surrendered in worse commensurately we have galvanized this generation of islamists, just as they defeated the soviets in afghanistan in the 1980's galvanized ben laden's generation. lou: i know this may be a peculiar perspective to ask you to assess, but if this does not anger and galvanize the american people in the war against terror and radical islamist, what would it take? >> it depends on the political culture of the administration. we withdraw from iraq and organize the withdrawal from afghanistan, what the weight is raised to the american public is we are winning those words. we are not. the way they are perceived is that we are in full retreat. the perception of the other side is the most important.

it is motivating, first of all, their operatives around the world. al qaeda today is a spending ten times at least geographically as it was look at africa. very active in the west. the french have been arresting cell after sell. so there is a perspective of a demonstration to the american people so that they understand where we are. lou: want to give you the last word. we are out of time. your thoughts? >> my thought, as it was in 1996, that we have to have a president who will tell the american people that we are motivating the enemy by what we do overseas. in terms of our foreign policy. if we need to keep doing that and we have to keep doing it. we have to tell the american people how bloody and how long this war is going to be. this has nothing to do with gender equality or elections. it has to do with waging war against people believe to be interfering with their land and their faith.

dominoes, the markets took that as relief. a lot of it was recovery. the housing data then added a little bit more momentum to that lou: you think that is the perception in the market. >> i think that the housing numbers were not as great as they looked once he started to dig beneath the surface. really the core of the housing data, single-family homes, in that category it fell about 5% in march. this completes a continuing story of the march data looking lousy from the employment report to retail sales, single-family home starts. lou: what happened to our friend, the bull? >> everything is not always move in the right direction. march is a prime example of that an unusually cold march, the coldest since 1996. transitional month were things like home building and the league baseball in all these things start up. it's called those things could delayed until april.
